Do you share a passion for discovery? A passion for embracing and seeking out new and unfamiliar events in your life? Immersing yourself in a new activity can help you transform your life in ways you never dreamed possible. Here’s how: Dipping your toes in an unfamiliar event takes Courage and Strength.
Workout- Outside in the elements. Trail Run- On an actual trail. Ride a bike- Into a 20mph headwind.
If you ever wanted to see a 5k princess melt? Head to a local trail head when it’s raining … If you want to see a gym bunny break? Hill Sprints and heavy KB Swings will do just fine.
Experiencing nature is heaven on earth. Just simply being outdoors will awaken in you a sense of vitality and infinity for life. After just a few moments outdoors a path to your core creativity will emerge in front of you. Without thinking, look up at the astonishing number of stars in the sky tonight, the leaves quietly lingering on a single tree while running a favorite path and feel the sense of vastness and spaciousness that surrounds you. As you gaze at the heavens, knowing that humanity throughout history and across continents has pondered these very stars, in this moment … You are experiencing something larger than yourself.

कसरत –
Outdoors, in the elements …. A nice flowing Trail Run Followed by:
Park Bench Meditation (picnic tables etc.)
Find a bench with a level seat, a straight back and no arms (a level seat is all we really need) The front of the seat should not dig into the underside of your thighs. Gently place your legs side by side, your feet flat on the earth beneath them. Mindfully place both hands on your lap, one hand cupped upon the other. Release the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles. Breathe and relax your arms.
With our eyes closed, our objective is to achieve a state of complete physical stillness, calm – bliss.

Be bold and find the strength to move away from fear and into something new … का आनंद लें
Black Friday Special
Posted: November 23, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: Black Friday, Lame, life, love, nature, passion, Shopping, swimming 7 CommentsThe present moment dies every moment to become the past, is reborn every moment into the future. All experience is now. Now never ends-
**Our Rant continued from Monday’s post**
Most people probably think they already know all they need to know about people who give diet advice, but we have some new information to bring to light.
Allow us to get to the crux of the matter: If people who give diet advice were allowed to blitz media outlets with Facebook updates and Tweets that highlight the good points of their brain-damaged orations, their actions alone could spell the wholesale destruction of countless lives. The only rational response to this looming threat is for all of us to tell the truth about people who give diet advice. To be more specific, we can no longer get very excited about any revelation of their hypocrisy or crookedness. It’s what we’ve come to expect by now. The trouble with such rummy leguleians is that they intend to dispense outright misinformation and flashlight-under-the-chin ghost stories. People who give diet advice clings to interdenominationalism like a drowning man clings to a life-preserver. And that’s why we say to you: Have courage. Be honest. And put to rest humorless and saturnine sottises such as people who give diet advice. That’s the patriotic thing to do, and that’s the right thing to do. Since we don’t have anything more to say on that subject, we’ll politely get off our soapbox now.
The Plan-
‘Merica this morning around 4am:
The Workout-
Let’s go our of our way to do something totally different from the norm. If you have snow underfoot? Cross-Country Skiing + Snow Shoeing. If your partner drags you to their gym? Pick up some Weights and move them around? If you are taking pictures of your post Thanksgiving dinner … Head to a local pool for a Swim. Thanking caps peeps and get creative!?!
We went for a Swim …
Notes:
Have a great weekend and ENJOY!!!

End of the Day
Posted: October 26, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: active rest, blogging, crossfit, exercise, fitness, free range, gluten free, happiness, health, hipster, jogging, kettlebell, love, lululemon, lust, marathon, motivation, natural, nature, paleo, passion, perspective, pilates, recovery, rest, running, star wars, trail running, whole foods, writing 8 Comments… Greet everyone you meet with a warm smile, no matter how busy you are.
Don’t rush encounters with coworkers, family and friends.
Speak softly. Listen attentively.
Act as if every conversation you have is the most important thing on your mind today.
Look your children and your partner in the eyes when they talk to you.
Stroke the cat, caress the dog.
Lavish love on every living being you meet.
See how different you feel at the end of the day.

Somethin’ Else
Posted: October 2, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: blogging, desire, exercise, fitness, happiness, health, hipster, hope, intensity, kettlebell, love, lululemon, marathon, motivation, nature, paleo, passion, perspective, pilates, play, recovery, running, trail running, walking, whole foods, yoga 18 CommentsThe mind must learn that beyond the moving mind there is the background of awareness which does not change-
Today we want to spend some time with you exploring what we enjoy the most in life. We are doing this so we can distract ourselves from our negative thoughts and re-focus on what we enjoy the most!
The success of this post depends on you, our Dear Reader … We’ll get this started off on the right note:
—Yoga. Not the hot, sweaty Old Man Yoga. Certainly not the competitive, who has the best yoga-pants yoga (You know who you are!?!). What we enjoy the most is simple, peaceful, meditative, rejuvenating yoga.
—The days when we can sit back and not worry about doing anything. Its wonderful going for a walk in the morning not worrying about an appointment later in the day.
— Trail Running/MTB’ing and Cycling. The peace of being alone with Nature is fine although with the right Mate or Chica? Time well spent as long as they buy the first drink.
—Walking. Each and everyday. Yup, It’s not the manliest thing to do or the most ELITE. Who cares!
We now turn this over to you. Chime in with a pithy answer on what you enjoy the most!!!
The Plan-
The Workout-
Tools needed for today’s program: 1. A sweet stainless steel goniometer. 2. Look up the degree of motion in a non-weight bearing SI Joint (2.5 degrees) and a weight-bearing SI Joint (0.2 degrees for an average desk jockey peep). 3. The most important tool … You!
A keen attention to details will pay off handsomely, trust us. At the risk of making this really wordy and nauseating: We have really stripped this down to the bare minimum without showing pictures. If you suffer from a bad back, this program is a must if done correctly. For more specific directions and maybe pics? Please by all means email us. If you want to jack your self up on a lovely Tuesday morning? Pretend this is an AMRAP, High Intensity interval, Tababta program … You have been warned!
Lets start with a really nice, flowing Sun Salutation series. Followed by:
**Take a moment to measure three degrees of rotation using your handy-dandy tool, it’s not very much is it?**
While standing (Second toe, knee, hip, boney shoulder bit should all be in-line): Scissor kick <—Horrid exercise but we captured the visual for you, Forward, To the Side, To the Rear: 3 degrees only. This is a very slight movement: While standing. Work on this for a few minutes alternating legs.
**This is the only time you may use a wall for inversions! Do not do this program in a yoga pose head stand!!!**
Gracefully flow into a Handstand … Level and stacked hips, allow your breath to control tension. Perform 10 of our slight “kicks” — These are not “kicks” but you get the point. Front , Side and Rear for each leg. If you take your time you should be in a Handstand for One Minute. Flow back down to the earth beneath you and perform 10 Perfect Push Ups.
4 to 5 times through would be a good healthy start.
Notes:
Torque, Force Closure, Pelvic Stability, Load Transfer … What does all this mean exactly? Feel the twinge in your back when you do crazy mindless movements?!?
Have a splendid day peeps … ENJOY!!!
